Hosts should be respectful of our house.We have nice neighbours who mustn't be annoyed by piano or noise too early or too late. Yhe courtyard is calm and quiet, so if the kitchen's window is open, guests must avoid to make too much noise, it's nicer for our nice neighbours. It's possible for us to accept an animal, just ask. No smoking in the appartment, but there's a large balcony for that.

Marie-Astrid was very friendly in the lead up to our visit with a number of helpful emails. She gave very clear directions to the apartment and some great advice on local attractions. The apartment was true to its description and photos. It was perfect for our family of four and a lovely place for our holiday. Thank you for letting us stay.

Marie's apartment was very accurately described and represented in her listing. She was extremely responsive to our messages and answered all our questions and made some excellent suggestions for our travels. Her apartment has wonderful character and really is a home that you are staying in, not just a generic set of rooms. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 and the kids were pleased to have their own room with bunk beds.
Marie met us in person and got us familiarized well with the workings of the apartment. She also leaves a very thorough set of written instructions and suggestions.
The proximity of Gare du Nord, which was our arrival as well as departure point in the City, was very convenient. It is also close to the Barbes-Rochechoart station, so access to the sites in Paris is very easy by Metro. There is good shopping nearby for breakfast, lunches and dinners if you want to cook for yourself. Or there are plenty of restaurants too.
This apartment was excellent value and allowed for a comfortable and relaxing base for our family to tour Paris. Thanks, Marie.

Professeur de français, j'ai la chance d'avoir beaucoup de vacances et un bel appartement souvent vide. J'y vis avec ma fille de 11 ans et mon fils de 9ans, Verlaine et Samson, qui aiment comme moi l'aventure. Nous avons plusieurs fois échangé des maisons avec des étrangers et cela s'est merveilleusement bien passé, dans une relation basée sur la confiance et le respect d'autrui. Nous souhaitons héberger dans notre appartement des familles exclusivement, en y laissant livres, DVD, jeux... pour votre plaisir et en toute confiance.
Mais la cerise sur le gateau est que nous avons l'immense chance de bénéficier d'une place de parking, pour ceux qui viendraient en voiture. Et après, tous les déplacements dans Paris se feront très simplement en transports en commun car nous sommes très bien situés de ce point de vue!
French teacher, I'm very lucky to have a lot of holidays and a beautiful large appartment which is empty quite often. I live ther with my daughter Verlaine (11 years old) and my son Samson (9) and we enjoy adventure. We have exchanged our house with foreigners a few times and it was a great success, in a relationship based on confidence and respect.
We wish to host in our appartment families exclusively, as we will leave available for you books, DVDs, and a lot of games.
And last but not least in Paris, for those who would join us by car, we have a parking place in our courtyard, and that is just great to arrive easily à la maison. And then, it will be very simple to go to the main center of interest in Paris thanks to a great netship of metro, RER and buses close to our house.
